Sacrificing Energy for Mass Transfer to Boost Solar Steam Generation
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Vapor accumulation often limits the performance of passive interfacial solar evaporation. Inspired by the Dyson sphere concept, Xu, Yang, and co‐workers designed a perforated‐shell evaporator with an internal non‐evaporating core that diverts incident sunlight to drive self‐generated internal convection for vapor removal.

Molecular Interfacial Chelation Enables Wide‐Temperature Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.This study introduces a chelating additive for wide‐temperature aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. Methionine‐chelated zinc adsorb onto the Zn(002) plane and release Zn2+ in situ, forming a zinc‐ion‐rich buffer reservoir at the electrode/electrolyte interface, enabling aqueous zinc‐ion batteries to exhibit stable cycling performance over the temperature range

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.A sprayable POE‐based sorbent formulated with a green solvent blend of α‐pinene, D‐limonene, and p‐cymene enables rapid in situ film formation via solvent evaporation, allowing efficient pollutant capture. The system exhibits high oil uptake (37.3 g g−1) and effectively removes up to 60 mL of VLSFO under simulated marine spill conditions.
